A Poker Story.

A good story somes from Troy, Lincoln
county, Mo-, which is told at the expense
of merchant whose love for the exciting
game OF poker caused him to part with q
well-filled wallet one night during last
week. Having ordered load or two Of
cottonwood from farmer, the latter in
due time delivered the same in front OF
his customers residence, when not long
after a seedy-looking individual came
along armed with saw and buck, and se-
curing the job, went to work in dead
earnest, for which he was to receive the
munificent sum of one dollar. Accom-
plishing the task just as ths bell rang for
supper he was asked to partake of the
meal, which invitation he accepted with
out much pressing. Supper over he was
paid the dollar for the wood job, and loi-
tering around the store he heard his bene-
factor invite several friends there to join
him in friendly game of poker, to which
they readily assented.
The HEAVIER of the wood looked ON com
placently for time, and addressed him
self to the host requested the privilege OF
taking hand, saying that, although ap-
parently destitute, he would blow In the
dollar, and adding that cards were the
cause Of his present degraded position in
soeity. ALI advice on the part of the
players for the fellow to hold on to his
dollar proved unavailing and finally he
was admitted to the game. In short
time he found his winnings swelled to
fifty dollars, when exasperated, one Of the
party raised the pot two hundred
dollars, thinking by that means to freeze
the fellow out. Going down in his boot
leg he pulled forth q roll and, covering
the bet, soon found, to the dismay of the
crowd, that the doodle" was again his
A scene followed, but the cheek of the
wood-sawyer carried him successfully out
of the woods. He was surrounded by the
crowd and threatened with death, arrest,
cremation, pulverizing and even dose Of
dynamite did he not return the money.
Did he do it? Not bit of it, but drawing
pair of Smith 8 Wesson's he defed
them all and threatened the "whole crew"
with arrest for running gambling house.
No arrests were made, and the click gent,
taking the train for ST. Louis, bade the
Trojans gentle good by until next time.

Mashed by a Snowman.

P1rTsBuRs. Pa, July 20.-The people
of Charters, suburb of Pittsburg, were
recently surprised by the arrival of 8
singular couple. The lady was young
beautiful, elegantly dressed, and ablaze
with diamonds. The man. aside from his
dress, was also peculiar in his appearance,
being fully six feet tall, and wearing hair,
that fell over his shoulders in profusion.
He wore hat of the most aggravated
type, around which was cord fastened at
one side by buckle set with diamonds.
In his shirt-front another diamond blaz-
ed, and his general appearance indicated
wealth and plenty of it. A local consta-
BILE envolved the idea of kidnapping and
the man was arrested, when he gave his
name as William H. Mosely, Snowman
from Texas, but late a cowboy and scout.
The young lady was described as Miss
Nettie Taylor of st. Louis. The scene be-
fore the couple parted at Charters that
night after the arrest was made was very
affecting.
On the way to the Jail Mosely told the
officer that Miss Taylor was highly re-
pectable yound lady of st. Louis who be-
came infatuated with him while he was
with an Indian show in that city, from
where they eloped. On the way here
they stopped at several places and tried
to get married, but all magistrates and
ministers whom they requested to per-
form the ceremony had refused on ac-
count of the very youthful appearance OF
the girl They finally arrived here. Mosely
remained in Jail few days until released
by order of Squire Bryan, the latter find
ing that he had no legal right to detain
him, as the girl expressed a perfect viii
lingness to 90 with him to the ends of
the earth. She accompanied the consta-
BILE to the jail, and when her adored one
was brought out into the corridor she
clasped him about the neck and cried for
ioy.

eminent missionary was wounded while

ANOTHER REPORT.

Another account says that the steamer
on which Stanley was proceeding to the
relief of Emin Rey was sunk and shat the
explorer was drowned. The last report
emanates from missionary at Hatadi,
who received it from native from up the
country. No direct message had been re-
ceived from the explorers party.
THE REPORTS DOUBTED.
This report of the death Of Stanley Is
utterly discredited in London. The latest
authentic news from him was from Arui-
vini, and was sent under date of June 2.
It would be impossible for native to
reach Matadi from Aruivini since that
time. The distance is 100 miles
through the toughest country.

A Lively Exchange of Opinions Al
most Results in Bloodshed
in Texas.

ELpAso, July 21.-A newspaper row
here barely escaped resulting in tragedy
today. The Times and Inter -RfnHblic
have been indulging in personal warfare
for some time past This came to eli
max Sunday morning by the editor OF the
Times stating that the other editor belong
ed to penitentiary rather than to news
paper offices. The editors OF the inter
Republic, G.. B. Loving and Orth 5. Stein, at
once went cunning for Juan j. Hart,
editor of the Times who, was absent from
the city.
ACT THE SECOND.
Upon his return Monday he was vel
coined by the IaterRepa6lie IN leading
editorial calling him "a liar, poltroon and
eur" This was more than Hart could
stand and ar1ning himself with shotgun
he started out with one of his men, Will
berry. who was armed with a revolver and
whose object was TO see that both Loving
and Stein did not attack Hart.
Stein was met on the stairs by Hart. who
ordered him to throw up his hands. In
stead OF doing so Stein ran up the stairs
At this point an ofncer approached anu af-
rested Stein. Hart and Willbery and plac-
ed them under bonds to keep the peace
for year. During all this time Loving
stood across the street and did not inter-
fere. Stein was brought here about
year ago, charged with forging check on
a New York newspaper. He laid in Jail
here till about May /, when he was releas-
ed on bail awaiting trial.
"A BAD RECORD.
A requisition from the governor OF
Mississippi, where Stein is wanted on
another charge of forgery, awaits the dis
posal of the case here. Stein killed a
man at Kansas City five years ago and has
a bad record IN many localities in the
west. He said last week that he had
been employed by New York paper to
vi it Mexico and investigate the earth
